ABSTRACT:
A scheduling board having multiple bracket classes identified thereon, with paired sets of attachment means grouped to receive sequentially and numerically identified participant tags and with one or more groups of the attachment means. In practicing the method of the invention, the participant tags are numerically positioned on first group attachment means with one-half of the participant tags being sequentially arranged in a first column and with the remaining one-half of the participant tags being arranged in a second column. The tags in the columns are aligned and the order of ascending numerical sequence of the participant tags in the second column is directionally opposite to the order of ascending numerical sequence of the participant tags in the first column. The horizontally aligned participant tags identify competitors for a round in a competitive event and after the round has been completed the lowest number tag is left in position and the other tags are rotated to move an end tag from the first column directly across to the other column and the tag at the other end of the second column into the first column between the tag at the other end of that column, which is not moved, and the next tag in the column.
All tags other than the one tag that is not moved are maintained in the same rotational order established by the initial placement on the scheduling board. After each rotation of the participant tags the competitors identified by the horizontally aligned tags compete in a round of the competitive event and the tags (all except the end tag of row one which is kept stationary) are moved in the same rotational pattern previously described to establish a new schedule for a round of play. After each round of play the tags are moved according to the same rotational pattern until each pair of tags have been paired to indicate competition by the represented participants. One or more of the participants winning the most rounds may then be moved to a higher bracket class and one or more of the losing participants may be moved to a lower bracket class. Through repeated play each participant moves into a class suitable to the skill of the participant.
